We don't have a date for me to sign them yet. It's going to involve flights and schedule coordinating, but my feeling is they'd need the books by early September. As soon as I know I'll let everyone know!
I spent 2 minutes of my day looking into Zeb and George Lucas fighting. I don't know how I'm going to explain this to my manager, but I'm kinda looking forward to it.
I know you have nothing to do with this chip but this right here is total garbage
Please enclose a prepped bag and board with your raw or graded book. To do this, draw a box on the bag where you would like the creator to sign on the book. Cut out the square and place you book back in the bag/board or include the bag and board with the cgc book. If this is not done, there will be a $5 prep fee per book.
Well of course this isn’t going to be done I don’t even know what they are asking me to do. Ruin a bag a board? Tell you where to sign or incur a 5$ charge per book? Like wtf? Why can’t I just send in books and you decide where to sign on your own?
Hey Adam, shoot them an email if you want clarification. They're only asking that so they can protect the book and get the signatures where you want them. If you make a note that you don't give a shit I'm sure they can waive that fee.
Hi Chip. I upgraded to the Chipnutz level recently and missed the free variants. Hopefully this reaches you and you can let me know what I need to do to get on the list. Also, any chance DC will sanction a substack Batman variant?
I sent my the mighty apes hockey jersey, Howard The Duck variant in with a note saying something close to what we’d like you to sign. The main thing is to “Ian and Johonna.” (Yes that’s how she spells it) we’re so excited to get this signature because we bonded over this book when we started dating! Thank you Chip!❤️
Chip, this is especially exciting because my fiancé and I bonded over your work on Howard the Duck and the first gift I bought her for our first Valentine’s Day was a 9.8 CGC Howard the Duck first appearance of Gwenpool, (her favorite charter). So, getting a Howard comic signed for us is huge! We can’t wait!❤️
Thank you so much! You rock! Can’t wait for this! I’m from San Jose California I took a vacation about 17 years ago to watch the Sharks play against the Calgary Flames at the Saddledome
Chip do you set up all those podcast/YouTube interviews yourself? Or do they reach out to, say, Marvel who goes “Hey that Life Story hardcover is coming out, Chip we order you to go on Forbidden Planet.”
And then you meekly say “Yes master, your wish is my command” and they say “NOT good enough ‘Zdarsky,’ drop your trousers and prepare for a spanking!” And you say “Yes Mistress Marvel, you humble me with your generous beatings” and hold on I’ve got a lot more of this
But yeah, most of these come through the Marvel/DC/Comixology PR people. I have a few that are just pals, like Wordballoon or War Rocket Ajax. Some came from when I auctioned off interviews for charity!
No deadline as of yet! It'll all depend on when CSA and myself can figure out schedules to do the signing since they'll be flying to me with the books. My guess is you have until at least early September, but when I have a concrete date I'll post it here for sure!
I TOTALLY get the crowds thing. I went to WA Summer Con last weekend and the line for Kevin Eastman was longer than a Jonathan Hickman chart about Wolverine's hair maintenance. I couldn't deal with that many people at once, so I went home and actually read some comics (I know that reduces their value, but I'm crazy like that).
Speaking of reducing value, any chance you'll do remarks for Chipnutz subscribers?
Greetings Chipnutz! This is a message for other American/non-Canadian Chipnutz planning to send their books for the signing. Be sure to give yourself ample time for your books to get through customs. I sent my book out on July 21st and it is still being held in customs. I'll report back when it reaches its final destination, so you get an idea of how long it may take. Cheers!
Update. It reached the PO Box on August 10th. Unfortunately it still hasn’t been picked up and is at risk of being sent back to me. Did anyone else have success? It made it there prior to the 8/15 deadline. Emailed Comic Sketch Art and no reply yet. Hope it works!
It got picked up and is in somebody's capable hands. I hope any non-canadian Chipznutz got their books in for our favorite woodsman to apply his John Hancock (American term for signature). Cheers!

I can’t wait! I’ve been want to get my favorite Howard the Duck variant signed by you for years! You’re the man Chip!
Any update on deadline for submitting books for your juicy sig?
YES!! I posted it here! https://zdarsky.substack.com/p/batman-day
AUGUST 15 SO RUN TO THE POST OFFICE RUNNNNN
Thanks, don't know how I missed seeing that. I'll get these nudes, I mean comics sent right away!
Thanks, man! I appreciate it!
I spent 2 minutes of my day looking into Zeb and George Lucas fighting. I don't know how I'm going to explain this to my manager, but I'm kinda looking forward to it.
Hey chip, do you know when the deadline to send books in is, or is that a question for the email?
PEZ!
What’s your go to snack when hiding in the woods from Batman fans?
I know you have nothing to do with this chip but this right here is total garbage

Hey Jamie! I'll send you all the info when I send out the questionnaire for Public Domain on Friday! Don't worry, I GOT YOU
Don't think there will be a Batman variant, sadly. That's not on DC though!
Thanks!
Would it possible to request a personalized signature? I’m sending the book in next week.
Sure! Just let them know you talked to me about it!

Aw, that's so sweet!
Hey Chip! Do you remember if you were able to personalize my Howard the Duck comic I sent in for my girlfriend and I? Thanks!
UPDATE: I'm flying to Calgary on October 13 to sign all the books! So I'll totally do it!
Thank you so much! You rock! Can’t wait for this! I’m from San Jose California I took a vacation about 17 years ago to watch the Sharks play against the Calgary Flames at the Saddledome

Thanks! Man, you know you’ve made it when you can get people to bid on your conversations!
Is there a deadline on sending in books to get signed? Batman isn't even out yet!
No deadline as of yet! It'll all depend on when CSA and myself can figure out schedules to do the signing since they'll be flying to me with the books. My guess is you have until at least early September, but when I have a concrete date I'll post it here for sure!
Follow up, will you be doing anything like this for sketches/sketch covers?
I TOTALLY get the crowds thing. I went to WA Summer Con last weekend and the line for Kevin Eastman was longer than a Jonathan Hickman chart about Wolverine's hair maintenance.

Speaking of reducing value, any chance you'll do remarks for Chipnutz subscribers?
Sadly no remarks this time around. I'll only have time to do the signatures before I'm back on a plane into the forest never to be heard from again
